South Korean actor Ahn Hyo Seop is shining brightly in 2025. His film, K-Pop Demon Hunters, is one of the most talked about films right now. In the Netflix and Sony film, he voices the character Jinu. He admitted he didn't expect the film to be such a hit.
When he was offered the role of Jinu, he decided to take it because he thought it would be fun. "I really didn't expect this film to be such a hit," he said in an interview with The Korea Times, reported on Thursday July 17, 2025.
In the South Korean entertainment world, Ahn Hyo Seop has started his career since 2015. 10 years after that, his name became known and sought after thanks to Jinu. In the K-Pop series Demon Hunters, Jinu is a demon disguised as a human and debuts as a member of the K-Pop group Saja Boys.
Despite being labeled a demon, Jinu actually has a human past and still has a heart. In K-Pop Demon Hunters, the actor who played Dr. Romantic 2 provided the voice of Jinu outside of the singing scenes.
Ahn Hyo Seop is no stranger to the world of singing, having previously worked as a K-Pop trainee at JYP Entertainment. Music, it turns out, wasn't his forte. Ahn Hyo Seop then decided to switch careers to become an actor. "I often think that making music just a hobby was the right decision.
I never regretted the decision not to become a K-Pop idol," he said in the same interview. Like most people just starting out in their careers, Ahn Hyo Seop faced many challenges and difficulties. But slowly, he began to feel comfortable acting. "Thanks to Dr. Romantic 2.
That project gave me a broader perspective on what it means to be part of a production," he said. Ahn Hyo Seop's latest film, Omniscient Reader, will be released in theaters this month. You can catch the film, which also stars Lee Minho, at CGV cinemas starting July 30, 2025.
